APILS – Movie Screening: “The Dhamma Brothers” – Mar. 23, 11:15 am and 6:30 pm, L-134

“East Meets West in the Deep South” Akron Public Interest Society will host a screening of The Dhamma Brothers, a 2009 documentary based on a radical meditation-based prison reform project in Alabama. Light snacks provided.

The movie will screen at 11:15 am and 6:30 pm in room L-134 on March 23.

See Trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA8XFEyeMi8

Synopsis: An overcrowded, violent maximum-security prison, the end of the line in Alabama’s prison system, is dramatically changed by the influence of an ancient meditation program. Behind high security towers and a double row of barbed wire and electrical fence live over 1,500 prisoners, many of whom will never again know life in the outside world. But for some of these men, a spark is ignited when it becomes the first maximum-security prison in North America to hold an extended Vipassana retreat, an emotionally and physically demanding program of silent meditation lasting ten days and requiring 100 hours of meditation.
